What have I gotten myself into?

Tag Archives: Circuit training

I couldn’t sleep last night. Summer starts in September in San Francisco. With summer comes balmy 60 degree nights that result in restless tossing and turning. It could have been the weather, or the massive Musinex I took as I was going to bed. Just because they use the stuff to make Meth doesn’t mean it is the reason I was up all night.

Due to my lack of sleep, I was up in plenty of time to make it to the gym, run a quick mile, do 30 more minutes of circuit training and head into work. I even had time to blow out my hair! It was kind of amazing. I have to say the worst part of this isn’t going to the gym. I love exercise, I feel accomplished, and a bit hardcore when I am done, it’s the eating. I have the absolute WORST sweet tooth. The cupcake truck that parks down the street for lunch doesn’t help.

I find myself avoiding leaving the office because there are so many great places to eat in this city, and the snack closet is a bit too close to my desk for my liking. I know the first week or two of “eating healthy” is always the worst, I just need to power through.

So, day one of 30 in 30 began today. 30 minutes of circuit training. I almost puked.

I can run 5 miles, no problem, heck, I ran a half marathon a month ago. Circuit Training? It has been too long since I have forced myself to do a squat, lift a free weight, or pretend I knew what I was doing in the weight room and my body rebelled. I made it through my 30 minutes and walked into the office perky and annoying on a Monday morning.
